It is a favorite of critics, and remains in the style of old-school punk similar to the early Rancid attitude, which is also reflected in their live shows.

With the Bouncing Souls, you can always rely on a fun, heart-pounding show with lots of crowd participation. Its raw energy as a live band made it a fan favorite through the ten years that the members have been touring together. On this tour to support the new album, the Bouncing Souls will have audiences rocking with pop-punk anthems and good, old-fashioned, rock star attitude.

Supporting the Bouncing Souls will be up-and-coming bands Tsunami Bomb, Strike Anywhere and Wanted Dead.

Tsunami Bomb is a four-piece punk band fresh out of California, and has been touring non-stop for the past couple of years. The band has sold as many as 10,000 copies of its EP on its own via constant touring. The female front woman Agent M adds a lot of heart and an almost melodic voice to their punky sound.

Strike Anywhere is getting ready to release its second full-length record on September 30. The band’s hardcore punk sound will add a little bit of variety to the lineup.

Wanted Dead, another California band, is known for its crazy antics on stage. The live show will be sure to keep the audience guessing. Don’t miss this angry hardcore band’s set.

Any fan of punk would be crazy to miss these shows.

Bouncing Souls, Tsunami Bomb, Strike Anywhere and Want Dead will play Club Laga tonight at 7 p.m. Tickets are $13 and can be purchased by calling (412) 323-1919.
